My thoughts are with Tom, Carrie and all of the King family. Those we have laughed with, learned from, and leaned on leave us the very best memories. In the end, the whole of life becomes an act of letting go.

Hello Carrie. Jim was a couple of years behind me, at New Trier. He was a monumentally marvelous guy. It is wonderful that he found you. So glad that he knew great love and friendship. 
Life is ridiculous and surreal. My sincere condolences to you and all who knew him. R. I. P. Jim

My condolences to Carrie and the rest of Jim's family. I haven't seen him since high school but it sounds like he had a full and rich life. He is gone much too young.

Tom, Carrie and the rest of the King Family: I was a friend of Jim's and Tom's from High School.Hanging with the "Wilmette boys" were some of my most favorite times at New Trier. Just hanging around on the street, the various basements of friends (Bob's, Ernie's, Dave's), going to the Chessman, or over to the Baha'i Temple to run around. Jim was fun and funny and had a great smile (and a lot of hockey jerseys). I am so sorry for this news and so appreciative of this great photo to bring back all of these memories. My heart is heavy I wish I could be there for the service. I will be there in spirit.

I'm so sorry for your loss Carrie, my sincerest condolences go out to you and your extended family, and friends... Jimmy was a great guy and a pleasure to know, he will be missed dearly.

I always saw Jimmy smiling and happy.
Carrie, I'm so sorry!
Jim, you were a good friend,I will miss you!

Carrie, we are all so sorry for the sudden loss of Jim. What a thoughtful,loving Uncle to Kasey. He always made it very easy to catch up with what was going on in your lives. I am proud to have had him as a friend. Please know Carrie that Jim and you are in our prayers. Condolences to your entire family.

What a legacy of generosity and kindness Jim leaves us.  Truly, Jim was a man among men and he will be greatly missed.  Prayers to Carrie for peace.

I never had the opportunity to meet Jim but I used to work with Carrie. I was just heartbroken upon hearing of Jim's passing. Carrie, you're in my thoughts and prayers, I am so sorry for your loss.

Working with Jim for more than a dozen years, he was always a calm and competent colleague; professional but also kept it lighthearted and fun. He will be well remembered and appreciated for how he helped and counseled. To Carrie and Tom: peace be with all of of you who were close.

My thoughts and prayers are with Carrie and her loss. She deeply loved Jim

He was loved by all.  Our prayers go out to Carrie and the entire family and all friends during this difficult time.  Wishing us all peace and comfort in the many memories we shared and have of him.  He will always be alive in our hearts.

To Carrie, Tom and all members of the King Family:
I cannot begin to describe the feeling of loss that I have and cannot imagine how you all must be feeling. In some small way be comforted by the knowledge that Jim was a wonderful person and well liked and respected by all of those that he met along the road of life. I am honored that I was able to work with him for close to 30 years directly and indirectly in varying capacities throughout his professional career. I was so pleased to be able to have with me on a direct basis again these last couple years. Good natured, reliable, professional and we always looked out for each other. Even with some of the daily tensions of working in our business we could always have a good laugh. I, and all of us he encountered in his professional community, have lost a true and beloved friend. God Bless him, he will always be in my thoughts.

My Condolences to The King Family,  Jim was by far one of the most reliable and excellent people to work with for the past 25+ years.  Jim outside of work was a caring and kind person.  My thoughts and Prayers are with you all.

I have worked with Jim on and off since 1988. He was someone you were always happy to see and we shared some laughs and some work triumphs.  He will be missed on my month to month basis of seeing and working with him. God Bless!

What a terrible loss. I was fortunate enough to have worked with Jimmy since the 90's & even got to speak with him a week before his passing. I will always remember his laugh. What a good & kind soul. Jimmy you will be missed.

From the time I worked with him at Sound & Stagecraft and talking to him a few weeks ago, Jimmy has always been encouraging to me. He would call just to see how you were doing. He was truly one of the good ones and I will miss him. Thanks Carrie for sharing him with us and I am truly sorry for yours and Tommy's lost.

Carrie- There are no words to share at a moment like this. Loss is always so incredibly difficult. We are so very sorry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Carrie, My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.  You and Jim will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My fellow neighbor growing up in Wilmette and then cherished work mate at Sound and Stagecraft/AVHQ..I find this all to much to believe.

RIP Jimmy, what great guy.
